House extensions in Bath, Trowbridge and across BANES — from a side-return on a terraced street to a double-storey rear build. We handle planning drawings, structural steel, groundworks and Building Control in one fixed-price contract, so the number you sign is the number you pay. Single-storey builds typically run 10–14 weeks; double-storey 16–24 weeks — both confirmed at quote, not discovered mid-build.
Lyncombe occupies a distinctive hillside position between the city centre and Combe Down, combining stone-built Victorian villas, terraced cottages and a handful of larger detached properties set into the hillside with significant garden potential. Work here spans the full range of what we do: heritage stone repairs and lime repointing on the older stock; substantial rear and lower-ground extensions that exploit the slope; and high-quality internal refurbishments that bring older interiors up to contemporary standards without sacrificing period character. The hillside setting requires careful site logistics — sloped garden engineering, stone property structural assessment and Conservation Area compliance — all of which our team manages as a matter of course.

Pricing notes
Hillside site logistics, sloped garden engineering and stone-property structural assessment are all addressed from the initial consultation, so the fixed quote covers the real ground conditions rather than discovering them mid-build.
